So what gives? The Zen is, at first glance, a rich dude's luxury, but with all the glamor attached to it, it's completely worth every cent. You could plug it anytime to your computer with the USB 1.0 and transfer
personal music files (.wma and .mp3) pronto. It comes with a CD-ROM containing the manual, in a box where the USB lead, carry-case, earphones, and charger are already squeezed in. Zen is a bit too heavy compared to other MP3 players, but the weight does make you feel like you're fuckin' holding something that won't break in case you're in the mood to chuck china.
